"A
most wonderful Magistery and Archmagistery is the Tincture of Sacred Alchemy, the marvelous science of secret Philosophy, the singular
gift bestowed upon men through the grace of Almighty God--- which men
have never discovered through the labor of their own hands, but only by
revelation and the teaching of others....."
Thomas Norton, 1652.
In
days of old, the practice of Alchemy (or "The Great Work") was tolerated by the Aristocracy and
the Christian Church only because it was labeled and promoted as a
science, and a means for converting base metals into gold. This,
however, was just a cover. Few citizens, save for the
Alchemists themselves, understood the deeper implications of the
art. At it's core, Alchemy is the process of human
transformation. It starts within, and
then expands itself outwardly.
Much has been spoken
about "the philosopher's stone" in recent days. Even Harry
Potter is getting into the act. As far as the Reconnections
are concerned, this simple substance is made up of the perfect
hybridization of "this and that," "dark and light,"
"male and female," and all other polarized
substances. At the outer edge of experience exists all the
extremes of life. These are the elements that are corrosive in
their nature, or devoted to entrapment and servitude. The figure of
the Merkaba
is a powerful example of what the center of each transforming individual
looks like. The arrows pointing up and out stand for the outer edges
of experience, the high light and low dark (to adopt the usual assignment
of space to these essences). In the center of the
vehicle, there is a place of joining, a space that is neither up nor
down, neither dark nor light. This is the place of
Reconnection. When this vehicle is
in motion, the energy pitch and vibratory resonance of the individual
traveler is greatly increased, and the Alchemical fires burn clear and
bright.
The patrons of Alchemy on the Spirit Plane are
Hermes; his Egyptian
counterpart, Thoth; and the
Compte de St. Germain. Many others play
key roles as well. All of these energies appear regularly within the
matrix of the Reconnections' Energy. This site offers background and
information about all of them. More information is arriving
everyday.
One of the primary terms used in the practice of Alchemy is the term Transmutation.
It is applied to the process of change this is being completed in the
lives and hearts of those who have said yes to Reconnection
with God/Goddess/All That Is. Humankind is now in the process
of changing---expanding in our form and structure, in order that we might
be able to endure the "energy hit" that come with Global
Acceleration. The physical symptoms being
experienced by many upon the planet at this time are
labor pains for the
global birthing that is at hand.
